The biggest possible contrast to Dubai.  Noisy, busy – cars, tri-shaws, motor bikes and cows coming at you from all directions.  All hooting their horns – except the cows that is, although they DO have horns 🙂. 

We visited one church, one shopping centre, three Hindu temples and a fort. Hot, dusty and noisy, a wonderful experience but glad to get back onto our ship.  We’re getting pampered and spoilt, you can tell. Tried to bring a bottle of wine on from the Duty Free shop and were charged $18 by the cruise line !
